Answer:
B: Both empires sought to project power as a mean of expanding their territories.
Explanation:
We can eliminate A as the passage mentions nothing about rebellion.
B is correct, by elimination of other options and I got it right on edge.
We can eliminate C as it does not mention a comparison between the two nations, thus we can not decide who had more political power.
D is wrong because the passage mentions the Songhay extracting wealth, but option D places wealth extraction on the Mughals.
Hope this helps.
Answer: A main cause of the trade was the colonies that European countries were starting to develop. In America, for instance, which was a colony of England, there was a demand for many labourers for the sugar, tobacco and cotton plantations. As a direct result of the transatlantic slave trade, the greatest movement of Africans was to the Americas — with 96 per cent of the captives from the African coasts arriving on cramped slave ships at ports in South America and the Caribbean Islands.
Another difference between transatlantic and modern slavery is related to profitability and disposability. In the transatlantic slave trade, the focus of slave traders was on Africa and the high cost of transporting these people meant that once they were enslaved they were often maintained and reproduced.
Because of the sugar plantations in the Caribbean needed lots of maunel labor
Answer:
Wealth, gold, property and women.
Explanation:
The discovery of America in 1492 by Christopher Columbus under the Spanish flag was a cultural shock for both indigenous and Europeans. Ultimately, they were two totally different cultures and idiosyncracies, based on totally dissimilar concepts, religions and customs and on conceptions of nature, life, society and politics that had no points of connection between them.
Thus, Columbus was greatly surprised to see that the natives wore pendants of precious stones and metals such as gold as if they were simple ornaments, downplaying the wealth they implied for Europeans. Furthermore, the property system itself was different and was based on collective property, rather than the private individual property of Europeans. Even the role of women in native societies was shocking for Europeans, since they had an egalitarian role that was very different from Europe, where women were socially relegated behind men.
